BUGS AND ISSUES:

- Presently Doors are inoperative.  This is a known Asobo issue concerning click zones.  

- Flashing at front windscreen from exterior view only and certain angles to sun only.

- The instrument panel lights are 'always on' at night.  Asobo presently do not have a way to turn off 2D XML Instrumentation that feature light mapping.  Hopefully this will be updated soon in the simulator.
